Folytathatok

Folytathatok is a form related to the Hungarian verb folytatni, meaning to continue. In standard Hungarian, folytathatok does not appear as a commonly listed lemma in dictionaries; when it is discussed, it appears as an example of how mood and person endings can attach to the verb stem in theoretical or dialectal contexts. Linguists often treat such forms as nonstandard or rare, and they are not typical in everyday speech or formal writing.

Morphology and meaning vary by analysis, but folytathatok is generally described as built from the stem folytat-, augmented with a mood marker that expresses possibility or permission (often described in grammar as a potential mood) and a personal ending. Because Hungarian conjugation can be analyzed in different ways, the precise interpretation of folytathatok (whether “could continue,” “may continue,” or a similar nuance) depends on the chosen grammatical framework and the surrounding context.

Usage and encounters: folytathatok is primarily of interest to students of Hungarian morphology and linguists studying the language’s mood and conjugation patterns. In everyday Hungarian, speakers typically use more common forms such as folytathatom (I can continue) or conditional/potential constructions like folytathatnám (I could continue).
